Welcome to the Benefice of
Linton, Burnsall and Rylstone

The Benefice of Linton, Burnsall and Rylstone is a group of three rural Church of England parishes set in the stunning natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

Our churches are places of welcome where people have gathered to pray and worship for centuries. As well as being homes to Christian communities of living faith, our church buildings are also places of significant historical interest and all are open for visitors during daylight hours.

These spaces of sanctuary; integral to the weft of this extraordinary landscape and to the communities in which they are set, are there for you, and so are we. As followers of Christ we feel called to share God’s love, serve our community and grow in faith together. Jesus’ example of generous love and radical justice affected everyone he met. In our three parishes, we aim to reach out, serving our communities as a hope-filled beacon of spiritual and practical support.

Thank you for visiting our website. Rest awhile, take a look around and find out more.

Better still, come and see us – we gather to worship together on Sundays and Wednesdays (see service times and locations below) – all are welcome!
